Dear Sir
I am preparing a biographical sketch of John Fenno , who was the first editor of the Gazette of the United States , which was the official organ of the Federalist party from about 1789 to 1800.
John Fenno was born in Boston Aug 12 1751 and died in Philadelphia Sep 14

1798. He was the son of Ephraim Ferris, who like his son John is said to have had a revolutionary career. At one time both Ephraim and John are said to have lived in New York, and there is a question as to whether they served in the continental army as from Massachusetts or from New York, or possibly from some other New England State.
If your peruvian records give any information

201 LONGWOOD ROAD ROLAND PARK BALTIMORE, MD.
as to either of these when you will confer a great favor by letting me know any and all data you may have -
Yours truly
J. Hall Pleasant

Rev. & 18 2 Wars Section. Qu

Sir:
I have to advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension, or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on account of the services of any soldier named John Fenno.
Said records show that Warrant No. 737, for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued May 14, 1794, on account of the services of Ephraim Fenno, a Lieutenant in Colonel Lamb's Regiment of Continental Artillery, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to this soldier and no data at all as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
For the location of said land, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C. citing all of the data given above.
Respectfully,
Washington Gardner Commissioner.
